I hope I am wrong but I feel like this is one of those games the Lions collapse to the pressure and don?t show up.
 
I feel like it's not outside the realm of possibility we ambush them like Dallas did. Maybe not so lopsided, but handily. Especially since we're at home. More likely it's a typical Vikings one possession game. We either win by 3 or lose by 3, I think.
 
Jared Davis still missing sacks. How does that guy over run everything his entire career? Its amazing.
